Big local debate about the name. Apparently, Senators is still owned by the Texas Rangers and is inappropriate since DC isn't represented in the Senate. They're suggesting names like Federals, Statesmen, Nationals, etc.

I suggest they be called the Washington Democrats because they're likely to continue losing for at least the next four years.

So what. Washington is where the Senate IS. The Senators WAS the name of the Washington team historically. Those are actual reasons for naming it that....the garbage about "not being represented" in the Senate is not an actual reason.

It is a stupid political argument that hides a desire by a certain party to get two more guaranteed Senate votes. Washington is a Federal city, it is not a sovereign state and should never be one.
